a look at other national polls confirm it's razor tight, maybe even a mirror image of the 2004 showdown between president bush and senator john kerry. we see some movement towards the president. obama leads by seven points, almost four in ten. and he leads by four points in the battleground states, again, though, within the margin of error. the president is holding on to an eight-point advantage among women and that's slightly higher than romney's edge among men. the president's job rating sits at 49%. take a look at these numbers. 67% of likely voters approve of his handling of hurricane sandy. haven't seen numbers like that for this president on a single event, of course, going back to bin laden. and we may be seeing a sandy effect in other numbers. when voters are asked which candidate has better leadership qualities, the president -- more now pick the president. two weeks ago mitt romney led in that question, 44% to 40%. this doesn't mean romney doesn't have some things going for him. he's winning independents, the group the president won in 2008. romney leads them now by seven poin

first of all, this is a razor tight race, so they would argue that every single vote matters, but i will hold special significance to president obama. in large part thanks to white working class voters who voted for him. now, we interviewed really the sort of political queen here in iowa. who was with the des moines register. here's how she put it. she say quote, iowa is important symbolically. if other states see they are turning away from barack obama, that is a harbinger for the rest of the country, so that really sums up in large part, why is state is so important to president obama. he has put a lot of money into this state. this obama campaign has more than 60 campaign offices here. as far as we can tell, the romney campaign has about six. they are working more on their ground game with the internet, martin. but this is certainly a state that both candidates are hoping to hold on to, but it holds special significance for the president. >> indeed, mr. romney is now off to new hampshire, where there are also four electoral available, so this is a real battle for every single one, sin

bob schrum, does somebody have an advantage beyond the numbers that shows this is a razor-tight race? >> i think there are a couple of things underneath these numbers that are actually pretty good for the president. first of all, as nate silver from the "times" has pointed out, the president has led in 80 pgt of t 80% of the polls in the swing states. secondly, romney is losing hispanics by 48 points. as steve will tell you, you can't lose hispanics by 48 points, be a republican candidate and get elected president. thirdly, i think romney insisted so strongly that this was purely a referendum. if you feel badly about the economy, vote for me, i'm not going to tell you much else about myself, that he opened a way for the president to define him during what i regard as a critical summer season. >> i think when you look at the numbers there's some news in there that's very bad for president obama. the fact is that the approval level for people -- his handling of the economy is now in the 30s. the pessimism in the country is rising. the wrong track number is increasing. mitt romney has be
